SOME OF THE HISTORY OF 1888.

One of the gentlemen who has been
loading down the Democratic papers with
sfush about Mr.. Powell and has been
abusing Governor Foraker and lauding
Powell tS the skies is W. 4. Taylor This
correspondent, who is just now SO busily
engaged in aiding Mr.. Powell and fur
thering the interests Of John K. Mclean
was in lSs5 sending dispatches to the
New York World from Columbus Tie
World is a Democratic paper, and what
Mr.. Taylor then wrote for il can certainly
be received As reliable Information by
Democrats.
Ii will be remembered that in October,
1885, Mr.. Thomas f. Rowell, present
Democrats candidate for governor. was
chairman of the Democratic state eXecu-
tive committee, and in charge of the
Democratic headquarters at Columbus.
1t was at that time that the forgeries in
Gus, We're committed The following YER
batim extract from Mr.. Taylor's special
to the New York World. dated October Is,
lSSJ, may be of interest at this time: Il
have just received private advices from
Cincinnati TO the effect that the entire
Republican delegation" ITO the legisla-
turel except one is certainly elected, and
will he So declared tomorrow There is
An ugly feeling in Cincinnati, and | am
advised that a riot may occur at any mo-
ment. The Democratic state committee
yesterday made the claim of the legisla-
ture on joint ballot upon telegram from
John Mclean that it should do so, as the
Democrats had certainly elected twenty
one senators and fifty six representatives.
Since then the committee has maintained
the claim put forth. Ii is but proper to
say, while all the best Democrats in the
state sincerely hope that the party has an
honest majority of the legislature, Mr.
McLean's present attitude excite very
grave suspicion. He is in the city to-
night incognito in Company with some
II his lieutenants, but has not conferred
with any of the real Democratic leaders"
By the real Democratic leaders are
meant such men as Allen q. Thurman.
Mr.. Mclean was in conference with
Thomas f. Powell. and the result of the
conference and the claims spoken Of by
Mr.. Taylor was apparent when few
days later the forgeries were discovered
in Cincinnati: and Columbus.
We suggest to the young men of this
county that they get together and form
Foraker club, ard assist in making an
enthusiastic campaign in the county.
BY forming glee clubs they can add to
the interest of their meetings, and with
the attractions offered by their singing
and speeches from those of their MEM
bers who feel that they can interest an
audience they will have no trouble in Sc
curing crowds nj their meetings. Try it,
young men, and you will Toe surprised at
the amount of interest you can arouse.
